Join in the vibrant Chinese New Year Celebrations in Hong Kong. The New Year Night Parade hits Tsim Sha Tsui East on the Kowloon peninsula with a cavalcade of colourful floats, dragon dancers and performers from all over the world.
On Chinese New Year's Day the decorated floats, performers, street entertainers, music and dance make their way through the Tsim Sha Tsui district, festooned in its finest garb, against the striking backdrop of Victoria Harbour. Skyscrapers are bedecked in thousands of glittering lights and you'll see a spectacular variety of seasonal symbols which confer good fortune and happiness, while the sounds of Kung Hei Fat Choy and other warm wishes reverberate through the streets.

The next day, glittering fireworks over Victoria Harbour welcome the forthcoming lunar year which, in 2010, is the year of the tiger.

There are also amazing flower displays all over the city at this time. Don't miss the vivid Flower Markets in Victoria and Fa Hui parks, where kumquat trees, peach blossoms and tangerine plants fill the air with sweet scents.
